Chapter 312: Chapter 129 Forging Iron and Blades! Refining Blade Qi!_3

“This Su Tailai is truly a forging genius! Even if he has never forged a certain item before, just one look at the blueprints and he can perfectly create it. Such rapid progress! He is honest and simple-hearted, willing to toil without complaint. Perhaps it is precisely because of such a pure heart that he can achieve such accomplishments!”

Geng Zheng silently admired Su Changkong’s natural talent in forging.

Su Changkong’s forging skills were improving at a tremendous pace. Su Changkong felt that it would only take him a few more months to break through to the 8th realm in his forging ability!

“Could I… forge the Blade Qi within my body?”

During the forging process, Su Changkong suddenly had an extraordinary thought.

Many martial arts and unparalleled techniques were realized by martial arts geniuses during their daily lives, like deriving blade techniques from calligraphy or understanding swordsmanship while fishing.

If that was the case, could he not temper the Blade Qi within his body during the forging process?

Blade Qi, after all, is a sharp and concentrated force; it’s about concentrating energy to a single point, thus becoming impregnable, capable of severing gold and shattering stone even if it was water by compressing it.

Then, let’s treat my own Blade Qi as though it were a blunt sword, constantly forging it to make it more concentrated and sharper!

“Clang!”

Su Changkong raised the hammer and brought it down upon the block of iron, sending out a crisp ringing sound. The blade-shaped Qi Power within him trembled slightly, as if resonating!

“It’s possible!”

Su Changkong couldn’t help but feel invigorated. The principles behind all things are the same; even the most ordinary skills in life, when practiced to the utmost limit, can lead to insights into other areas. This is the essence of martial arts!

“Clang, clang, clang!”

Su Changkong swung the hammer, striking the iron block in front of him, refining it into fine steel, free of impurities. And with each hammer fall, the blade-shaped Qi Power within Su Changkong trembled, being hammered and tempered, becoming more concentrated and sharp.

“To what extent can I refine my Blade Qi if I continue this way?”

This unexpected discovery made Su Changkong ecstatic.

Originally, he had simply been avoiding the experts of the Mu Family while re-engaging with a hobby, yet he hadn’t expected that his forging could combine with his own Blade Qi, using the methods of forging to temper his Blade Qi and make it more concentrated!

Once concentrated to the extreme, a qualitative change is bound to occur!

Su Changkong also understood that he was able to achieve this because of his own talent, comprehension, and martial arts foundation. If it weren’t for the Blade Intent he had nurtured, and his extremely high forging skill, such a thought would not be realizable and would merely be a fantasy.

“Then let’s see to what degree I can reach!”

A fiery glow burned in Su Changkong’s eyes, as he was determined to find out where his limits lay!

“Clang, clang, clang, clang!”

Within the forging room, the sound of hammering iron rose and fell without cease, each sounding powerful and exceptionally pleasant to the ear, especially the noise of Su Changkong swinging his hammer.

The iron block full of impurities was transformed from scrap into fine steel under his hammer, the impurities stripped away!

He was not only tempering his forging skill but also refining his own Blade Qi.

The days passed tranquilly, save for the agitation of the Wood Snake Seal that could be felt during the initial half a month, after which things settled down.

And as time went on, the Wood Snake Seal branded within Su Changkong’s body was gradually fading away.

Until four months had passed!

“The Wood Snake Seal… has completely dissipated!”

A smile couldn’t help but appear on the corner of Su Changkong’s mouth, as he heaved a long sigh of relief.

The disappearance of the Wood Snake Seal happened faster than expected; in four months, the seal had vanished. This meant that Su Changkong no longer needed to worry about being tracked down by the Mu Family because of the Wood Snake Seal, ensuring his complete safety.

Without the Wood Snake Seal, the Mu Family would have no way of discovering that he was the one who killed Mu Jin unless they could predict the future!

Forging (7th realm Profound Mastery 94%)

These past four months had been extremely busy, Su Changkong spent his days in the Forging Room crafting various weapons, except for eating and sleeping. His forging skills were on the verge of breaking through to the 8th realm.

“The Blade Qi in my body has also grown much stronger than before, but it’s still quite far away from a qualitative transformation!”

Upon introspection, Su Changkong noticed that the blade-shaped Blade Qi inside his body had undergone a tremendous change. Originally, it was ethereal and seemed as if it would disperse at any moment, but now it had become more concentrated, unified, radiating an extreme sharpness!

It was significantly stronger than before, but it was still some way from a qualitative change. No matter how Su Changkong tempered it, he could not enhance its quality any further, as if he had hit a bottleneck and reached a limit.

Su Changkong was not anxious, he knew that metamorphosis was only a matter of time!

Due to the Mu Family’s threat, Su Changkong had infiltrated Dafeng Iron Cavalry’s Casting Department; otherwise, he wouldn’t have realized the technique of using forging to refine Blade Qi, which could be described as a blessing in disguise.

Even though the Wood Snake Seal had dissipated and Su Changkong was no longer under threat, to be safe, he decided to wait a bit longer before figuring out a way to leave!

Su Changkong guessed that the Mu Family had likely negotiated with the Dafeng Iron Cavalry. Having just arrived at the Casting Department for a few months, and the Wood Snake Seal dissipating, if he raised the subject of resigning and leaving now, it would inevitably lead to speculation.

“Tailai! Wait up!”

After a busy day, Su Changkong was preparing to eat and take a bath as usual when someone called out to him.

Without turning around, Su Changkong knew it was Geng Zheng, the head of the Casting Department.

Turning to face him with a look of surprise and confusion, Su Changkong asked, “Manager Geng, is there something you need me for?”

“It’s good news! Come with me!”

Geng Zheng gave a mysterious smile, not elaborating further to Su Changkong, and then turned and walked away.

Although puzzled about what it could be, it certainly couldn’t be that his identity was exposed? If it were exposed, it would’ve happened by now!

Hence, Su Changkong followed along, walking with Geng Zheng to a large hall, where he saw a man waiting inside.

This man was tall and robust, with a battle-hardened demeanor, emitting an extremely powerful presence that was visibly formidable!

Geng Zheng respectfully said to the man, “Deputy Commander Chai Zheng, I’ve brought Su Tailai here.”

“Chai Zheng?”

This name made Su Changkong’s heart stir, aware of the man’s identity.

In Dafeng State City, the four hundred thousand-strong Dafeng Iron Cavalry was divided into four camps: Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain, with each camp led by four Great Commanders. The assistants to each commander were the Deputy Commanders.

This Chai Zheng was the Deputy Commander of the Forest Frag Camp, holding a very high position within the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, higher than a Chief of Ten Thousand, a significant figure!

“Is this the forging prodigy Su Tailai you mentioned?”

Chai Zheng looked at Su Changkong, his brows slightly knit.

With such a young person in front of him, how advanced could his forging skill be?

Geng Zheng thumped his chest in assurance and said, “Deputy Commander Chai Zheng, don’t judge Su Tailai by his age. If his forging skill is ranked second in the Casting Department, no one dares to claim the first!”

Although Su Changkong had been in the Casting Department for less than half a year, his exhibited talent and techniques in forging had been noted. Whether it was swords, spears, sabers, staves, bows, crossbows, arrows, armors, or the intricate parts and mechanisms, he could craft them all.

Su Changkong also roughly understood that the good news Geng Zheng referred to was about Chai Zheng in need of someone with exceptional forging skills. Finding Geng Zheng, he immediately thought of Su Changkong.

Not only did Su Changkong show Profound Mastery in forging, but he was also diligent, honest, and steadfast in his work, never giving anyone cause for concern. That’s why Geng Zheng thought of him and introduced him to Chai Zheng.

“Alright then, let’s choose him,” said Chai Zheng, with a nod of slight approval after seeing Geng Zheng’s confident manner, then turning to Su Changkong to say, “Pack your belongings, we need to take a trip.”
